Function hexchat_api::turn_off_threadsafe_features

pub unsafe fn turn_off_threadsafe_features()

👎Deprecated since 0.2.6: This function is no longer necessary. Threadsafe features can be turned off by specifying features = [] in the Cargo.toml file for the hexchat-api dependency.

Stops and removes the main thread task queue handler. Otherwise it will keep checking the queue while doing nothing useful - which isn’t necessarily bad. Performance is unaffected either way.

Support for main_thread() is on by default. After this function is invoked, main_thread() should not be used and threads in general risk crashing the software if they try to access Hexchat directly without the main_thread(). ThreadSafeContext and ThreadSafeListIterator should also not be used after this function is called, since they rely on main_thread() internally.

Safety

While this will disable the handling of the main thread task queue, it doesn’t prevent the plugin author from spawning threads and attempting to use the features of the threadsafe objects this crate provides. If the plugin author intends to use ThreadSafeContext, ThreadSafeListIterator, or invoke main_thread() directly, then this function should not be called.
